Great build up risking, that thing is gonna be mean once it's done! Not sure if this will help but I came accross this thread on gtr.co.uk and thought it you could use it for tips or hints or whatever as this guy is building a space frame r32 aswell, and there's always more than one way to skin a cat. It's a good read :merli:

Cheers, Mat.

That one on GTR.uk is a bit odd.

His gone to some extreme lengths and its still based on a floor pan chassis. He may as well have thrown it away and started with a proper space frame like i have.

The way his cut out the firewall and floor section is not really right.

Its a good bit of gear by the looks of it but id have done it properly with a full space frame chassis.

slight update,

Jay and I looked over engine locations today,

God damn its not going to be easy. The tail shaft will only be 12 inchs long if that and the dry sump pump etc is going to have to swing off the other side of the engine now. Due to the engine being mounted so far back and offset to the pass side nothing will be simple.

Its going to have to go in through the windscreen opening as the intrusion bars etc all get in the way and the floor will have a X in it so no entry there.

Small incidental things are going to become a real nightmare soon. intercooler, radiator, diff coolers etc etc

the space is more than ample its the ammount of shit I have in there thats the problem!

Im looking to swap the cars around in the next few days and take it to somewhere bigger.

Its almost time to try and mount an RB26 into a hole thats way to small.

yeah about that,,,,,,

Its a little tight but very do able. Im working on it a little slower than normal with bostons car here as well but got a few things done last night.

Ive now got the fuel system sorted as well. and a new dry sump tank.

Im considereing making it left hand drive too, but not sure as yet,

Short shafts are okay besides the uni joint angles.

    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
